Not long after Mr. Xu finished speaking, he heard the slightly excited voices of the villagers.
Soon, five young boys pushing a stroller appeared in their sight, all with smiles on their faces.
The families of these five children were in relatively difficult circumstances, and everyone in the village knew that, so no one had any objections when choosing the five young men. The five young men were all very clever.
Three of them were from Yuqian Village before. All the strong laborers in the family were gone, and all three of them were children of fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Grandpa Xu, Grandpa Village Chief, we sold all the tofu today. At first, some people were curious about what it was. After we explained it to them, each person could taste a small piece as Sister Ajin said before.
Many people bought it.
There are a few others who have placed orders and asked us to deliver them tomorrow. Yuanqiao is even more powerful. He is smart and literate. He went to the county town restaurant to sell it. The owner of the restaurant immediately took the fancy and asked us to deliver it tomorrow.
Come over with a catty of tofu."
One of them, Qiangzi, put down his cart and excitedly reported today's situation to everyone. When the villagers heard this, their hearts dropped.
Qiangzi's family used to live in Nanyun Village. There was only one younger sister and an old grandmother with poor eyesight.
Fan Yuanqiao is the boy who Xu Yunjin saved from heatstroke on the road.
"Hahaha, okay, I will say that this tofu will definitely be sold, and our workshop will definitely get better and better in the future."
Mr. Xu burst out laughing after hearing this.
"You guys are all good. Go back and rest early. You have to go to the county tomorrow, so don't be too tired.
If there is too much tofu and you can't push it to the county seat by yourself, ask your partners to go together. Then you can bring more and sell it to nearby villages.
Yuanqiao, tomorrow you come and ask your Uncle Xu Wu to drive the oxcart with you to deliver tofu to the restaurant. Don’t worry, this tofu is also considered to be sold by you."
Now Lin is responsible for recording how much tofu they sell every day, and calculates the money for them every month based on the amount sold.
This was proposed by Xu Yunjin. A pound of tofu costs three cents. They sell a pound for half a cent. Every day, a few people take out at least fifty or sixty pounds.
That is to say, I have an income of at least twenty-five cents per day, which is more than seven hundred cents a month, which is more than what many middle-aged men earn from working for a month.
"Thank you, Grandpa Xu. If Doctor Xu hadn't saved me, and the village looked pitiful and gave me the tofu selling quota, I'm afraid our family wouldn't be able to survive."
Fan Yuanqiao is really grateful to the Xu family and the people in the village.
After the family's strong labor force was gone, he, a young man, not only had to take care of his mother, who had suffered a bad health along the way, but also had several younger brothers and sisters with him. Life was really difficult.
"It's all the people in the village who are taking care of you. If you make a difference in the future, you must repay your mother and the grandparents and uncles in the village. Now you can go back and rest."
Mr. Xu sighed and patted Fan Yuanqiao on the shoulder. This child was also pitiful.
backyard.
Xu Yunjin was listening to Yuan Xuan telling her about the follow-up of Yuezhou City.
"The He family has done many evil things, and they actually want to replace He Qi from the exile team. It's simply too bad.
In other words, if Old General Xiang returns to the border, the lost cities on the border should be recovered soon, right?"
Yuan Xuan looked at the angry Xu Yunjin and wanted to laugh. The junior sister's face was so round. Why did she want to poke it?
Why didn't Uncle Xu name her Xu Yuanyuan? This name is so appropriate.
If Xu Yunjin knew what the handsome young lady in front of him was thinking, Yuanxuan might lose this newly minted junior sister in the next second.
"After the He family was the hero of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has been deeply rooted in the imperial court for many years. It was most rampant during the reign of the first emperor. The He family members not only oppressed the people at all times, but also infiltrated their hands into the military.
If my grandfather hadn't made a show of force before his death and sent the old general to guard the border, I'm afraid that several cities on the border of Daqi would have been lost long ago. Even if my uncle has been on the throne for more than ten years, there are still many cities stationed on the border between Daqi and Nanyue Kingdom.
The general is still from He Xiang's faction, which is why my uncle dare not touch He Xiang."
As Yuan Xuan spoke, he thought of his mother, his childish face full of anger.
His mother, Qi Yuan, was the late emperor's favorite daughter and the eldest princess of Da Qi. She was extremely intelligent.
After the death of my grandfather, my mother has been acting as my uncle's adviser. Not only did I help my uncle successfully ascend the throne, but my father and mother also helped resolve many crises in the court.
That's why He Xiang and his party actually bribed Po Wen to assassinate his mother on the day of her mother's birth. In order to give birth to him safely, her mother almost died of hemorrhage.
Because he had been bored in his stomach for too long, he was nursed back to health by Grandpa Hua before he was five years old. His mother was also rescued by Grandpa Hua.
Later, he followed his master to the north just to learn the skills. When He Xiang was about to be replaced in the future, his uncle, father and others would find a way for him to go to the southern border to replace He Xiang.
"The emperor is so pitiful. He is in a high position but cannot help himself, and he has to be threatened by his subordinates who bow to him."
Xu Yunjin couldn't help but lamented that in their previous life, there would not have been so many ghosts and monsters around the head of a country, and some would not have dared to be so blatant.
"Pfft, you little girl, everyone is vying to be the emperor, but you still pity him.
Well, this is an extra reward that I asked for from my uncle. My uncle wanted to reward you after he knew that it was you who gave me the idea to design the He family. But this matter cannot be spread, and I don’t know where you were at that time.
Later, when I found out that you had donated medicine and were willing to selflessly teach suturing, the court argued for several days, saying that even if you had merit, you were not worthy of being named county head.
Later, it was Taishi Zhao who defeated He Xiang and his group in a verbal battle with the Confucian scholars in the court, and my uncle also got into a big fight before the dust settled. When I found out, I went to the palace and asked for a decree to send you a reward."
Yuan Xuan took out a large stack of banknotes from his body and handed them to Xu Yunjin. When Xu Yunjin saw the banknotes, his big eyes suddenly turned into stars.
Wow, this emperor is so good. A few days ago, their family said they should save money, so they gave her gold within a few days, and now they are giving her silver notes. The emperor is such a good emperor!
I hope that the ministers who support the emperor can give some efforts to eradicate He Xiang's influence as soon as possible. In the future, she can openly accept the small money from the emperor when she does big things. Her father and brother must also work hard.
"Bah, bah."
Xu Yunjin made a few noises with his fingers and imitated the way he counted money in his previous life, one piece, two pieces... ten pieces in total, one thousand taels each, and he made a fortune again.
"Yuan Xuan, please remember to thank your uncle for me. I have to research something good recently and am short of money!"
It seems that her soy sauce workshop can be opened. Hey, she is rich now and has a big backing brother. Xu Yunjin feels that it will be a loss if she doesn't use it.
"When are you going to choose a land to be granted? Your land to be granted is in Yongding County. My uncle wanted to give it to you near the city, but he was stopped.
The house in Fucheng is a big house with four entrances. It has been unoccupied for a long time. I'm afraid you need to find someone to repair it. If you don't live there, you still need to buy a few people to put it in the house.
As for the house in the county town, you have to go and see how to arrange it. After all, you need to teach there. Also, your uncle has sent craftsmen here. They are all trustworthy people. They have started working on the tools you need in Fucheng these two days.
Done."
Yuan Xuan told Xu Yunjin what needed to be done in the past two days. Xu Yunjin thought about it and found that there were quite a lot of things.
"Why don't you choose to seal the land first, and then go look at the houses in the county town? As for the houses in Fucheng, let my father and second brother go and see them first. If you want to buy people, we will wait for a while. You have to go with me tomorrow.
?"
The Xu family doesn't know much about these things, and only Yuanxuan is the most suitable person to accompany her to do these things.
Anyway, the new senior brother doesn't have to use it in vain. He also needs to take grandpa with him to see if the fields are good.
"Okay, tomorrow we will go to the county seat to select land for land. The magistrate of Yongding County is a disciple of Grand Master Zhao. His name is Shen Lingliang. He is an upright man and does not want to join He Xiang's party.
Although County Magistrate Shen has good political achievements, he has been suppressed. Every time he changes office, he is either re-elected locally or transferred to other counties. It was only after Zhao Ting became the prefect that he was sent to Yongding County by his uncle. We will visit him tomorrow.
one time."
Hearing Yuan Xuan's evaluation of Shen Lingliang, Xu Yunjin breathed a sigh of relief.
Their family is located in Yongding County, and now that Xu Yunjin has become the head of the county, he will have more or less interactions with the county magistrate in the future.
If the county magistrate is not easy to get along with, try to avoid meeting him in the future.
But after hearing what Yuan Xuan said, he seemed to be a nice person, so she felt relieved.
"Yuan Xuan, have you heard of Ji Ruwei, the magistrate of Cheng'an County, Qingzhou Prefecture?" This chapter has been completed!
